Hi, I’m new here and have a barreled action in need of a bolt, but there are none for sale. I bought one of those $40 Gewher 88 actions that came without bolts and was curious if anyone in here might know where to look to get a bolt made or have a lead on a complete bolt.
 
Thanks but I already tried the usual suspects and numrich being top of that list. Even tried eBay but no complete bolts there either. Reckon it would make an interesting muzzleloader?

You could try and contact JW Rawles..... Currently he deals with more old stuff than anyone I have heard of.

Thanks for the heads up. I looked at his site then sent him an email.
 

Ebay has a couple that are nearly complete. You maybe able to get all the little parts.
I appreciate that but those missing pieces all dried up. Maybe able to get a machine shop to make what’s left but that would put me far over it’s worth into that old action. It ain’t eating anything, I can be patient and wait for a complete bolt to become available. I’ll just be careful before buying a surplus action again.
